Strong afternoon sun can make a patio or deck too hot to enjoy. A retractable awning gives you shade when you need it, helping create a cooler, more comfortable space for outdoor meals, relaxing or spending time with family and friends.
The powder-coated aluminium frame is built for outdoor use, while sturdy folding arms provide reliable support when the awning is extended, with wind resistance of 38–50 km/h.
The solution-dyed acrylic canopy helps resist fading and mildew while providing UPF 50+ sun protection. When it’s time for a new look, the canopy fabric can be replaced with another colour without replacing the entire awning frame.
The frame is covered by a 5-year warranty, and the solution-dyed acrylic fabric is covered for 5 years against fading.
